This is my first #MakeupMonday Product Review, and I am excited! I have so many products that I have tried, some I liked, and some I completely disliked. For my first #MakeupMonday product to review is the FIT Me Foundation by Maybelline. First, let me say that I was ecstatic when I decided to purchase this product as my search for the right foundation is still underway. Typically, I consumed in MAC Studio Fix foundations, but recently, I have been experiencing some breakage on my face to which, is NOT NORMAL. Also, my face was becoming more oily, and I could feel the product on my face. I heard many great reviews on the FIT Me foundation and concealer so I decided to give it a try. I purchased the Matte and Poreless liquid foundation in 330 (Toffee Caramel) from Target.The TRY ON: It was my first time using a liquid foundation since I have been an avid user of pressed powder so this was going to be an experience. I must say, I was expecting an applicator, or at least a pump bottle for applying which can cause a mess. I know this is a makeup no-no but, I used a Q-Tip to apply the foundation to my face, and then I blended with my foundation brush. The product went on smoothly, and it blended extremely well. I was pleased. It left my face with a beautiful, flawless finish, to which is imperative to me. The coverage was nicely even, and my skin had a beautiful glow (that complimented my NARS blush in Orgasm).The TRUE TEST: When I first tried the foundation, it was on a long workday. I usually do not reapply makeup throughout the workday, unless I have plans afterwards. At the beginning of my day, my face did have a beautiful matte finish, however, by the end of my workday, my face retained some oil in my T-Zone. Granted, I could have blotted but honestly, during working hours, I do not think of doing that. The next day, I used the foundation again and had to reapply for an event I attended after work, needless to say, when I reapplied the foundation, my face was flawless again.The FINAL WORD: On a scale of 1-10, I would give the FIT Me foundation a 8. As a drug store cosmetic product, I was pleasantly surprised at the overall use of it. My face did not look powdery, or pale. I had a nice, clean finish. I also purchased their foundation sticks as I will try a contour method (as seen on YouTube) using them. A review for those will come soon. In the end, I would highly recommend this product especially if you are new to using foundation or seeking to try another type of foundation without spending too much money.I hope you enjoyed my review and if you have any questions, please feel free to comment below or send me an email at makeup_byjay@yahoo.com.

Happy New Year! When I first heard about the Big Shot Mascara, I was anxious to give it a try. I saw that the beauty influencers were the first on the list to receive the mascara and they all swore by it. With their reviews in hand, I wanted to see if their reviews were not just for hype.

I was one of the lucky 400 beauty gurus to receive the Giorgio Armani Beauty VoxBox from Influenster. When I received the notification that I was selected, I was beyond ecstatic. Once I received my package, I was in total awe that I received some great luxury products to try for free.

Hello, my makeup lovers! Spring is definitely in the air, and the warm temps are soaring! One thing you should know about me is that I am a fan of warm weather - it just makes me so happy. In the midst of my break, I did indulge on a spring makeup haul.

Many women ask me how do I achieve my everyday makeup look. They generally ask what products I use, how long it takes to apply my makeup and other questions in general. So I wanted to share with you all my makeup must-haves.

Who does not love a good lipstick? Who does not love to have a variety of good lipsticks to choose from? Who does not love to have a variety of good lipsticks that are affordable? Well, you should check out ColourPop Cosmetics.

What is this buzz about LA Girl Cosmetics HD Pro Conceal? Well, if you are not aware, a lot of Pro Makeup Artists raves about this concealer. Why? Well, it is a pretty good concealer that is a great assist with contouring, highlighting and an awesome color corrector for covering up blemishes, dark circles, and redness.

I recently stopped at Marshall’s to look for some items for my apartment. During my shopping excursion, I decided to peek at the beauty section to see what products were available for purchase. Not to mention, they offer a great selection of makeup brushes for beginners, but I found some great items for a greater cost.
